adopted . With the help of the Parker County Today ’ s Newsblast , Max and Maxine found a home with Kandess Klein who had had a bonded pair of dogs in the past , and felt instantly connected with the dogs and their story .
“ This lady was so devoted to the dogs it was the perfect home for them ,” said Deel .
A few weeks later Klein sent the WPCAS an update on the dogs , along with pictures of them sleeping and relaxing in their new home . The animal shelter decided to print those pictures , frame them , and send them to Hudson . Sadly , she passed away four days after Max and Maxine were adopted . “ It was like she was holding on just to find those dogs a home ,”

explained Deel . Hudson requested that she be buried with the pictures the shelter had sent to her .
This act of kindness the shelter showed towards Hudson and her dogs shows just how much the WPCAS cares about the people and community of Parker County .
“ We have two [ types of ] customers here at the WPCAS . We want to help the animals and the people of Parker County ... both are equally as important ,” said Deel .
At a recent Parker County Today event , “ Boots , Barbecue and Bachelors ,” Deel said that the goal of the shelter is to be “ advocates for the animals and people of Parker County .” For many people like Mrs . Hudson and her dogs , they have been just that .
